    The Newberry Collection of Islamic Embroideries

    Three parallel bands are set at right angles to a fourth band. All four bands have a continuous vine with stylized single leaves; two of them are embroidered in pink, two in blue. The embroidery defines the background.

    The width of the bands is 1.4 cm; the three parallel bands are set at a distance of 1.5 cm between each. They follow the same direction as a fine, rolled hem, carefully sewn with silk whipping stitches. This was probably the bottom part of a garment.
